"In Manhattan, another burial
for 400 colonial-era blacks"
/ Michael Luo.
New York Times, A1 & B4, October 2, 2003.
[This news article tells about the historical unraveling of the "African
Burial Grounds" site that was discovered in downtown Manhattan during a 1991 excavation
for the future Federal Office tower. This forgotten burial plot was used exclusively for all deceased
Africans living in this locale. For twelve yaers, from 1991-2003, the politics and the history came together,
and, with the help of former N.Y. mayor David Dinkins, our U.S. Congress, concerned scientists, and local
citizens, the building was stopped. This group voiced their belief that this building project should be
discontinued. A study group was ushered in from Howard University (Washington, DC), including Dr. Michael
Blakey of Howard, and New York's Dr. Sherrill D. Wilson, an urban anthropologist, became part of this
important anthropological study with a charge to classify the human remains of these early New York
Africans. The study later revealed the findings of pottery, tools, and artifacts used by the deceased.
Of the 419 human remains, more than half were identified as children. Over 200 other remains were
left untouched. The study brought a degree of satisfaction and closure to this highly charged event.
Slavery in New York's lower Manhattan in the 18th century was identified, and the respect of individualizing
each body was symbolically memorialized in a special ceremony whereby each coffin was put back in its
final resting place. It was reported that a "permanent memorial and educational center"
will be established at this historic site.]
